Do you have any suggestions for a skimboard under $200 NZD that I could catch some waves on? Preferably a foam board. I in Nelson and rabbit island is a good skimboard place. I used to have a wooden board but I grew out of it and I want to get a new board so I can catch some bigger waves. Thanks

You won't get a decent foam board at that price point. You could possibly pick up a second hand board for that price on Trademe at the right time but really your budget isn't enough

I live in England and am beginning I just wondered if wood or foam is better because there are waves occasionally but most of the time it’s very small waves. Any suggestions?
@OXSEnterprises 4 жыл бұрын
Hard to say. Is it shorebreak or are the waves breaking miles out and leaving you with shin high whitewash? If it's shorebreak go foam.

Would it make sense to put grips on a wood board or is that only something you do with foam boards? (I could just use wax but if it makes sense, grips seem easier.)
@OXSEnterprises 4 жыл бұрын
Most quality wood boards these days have some form of foam traction. A tail pad and arch bar imo is stupid on a wood board. Flat foam traction is where it's at.
@BradyDensock 4 жыл бұрын
OXS Enterprises Thanks, but also my board is wood and dosent have any foam traction and I love the shape of my board so I don’t want to get a new one but it just needs more grip. Are foam pads that’s cover wood boards something you can buy?
